I suppose this has probably been done before but the Bache thread (I used to call it after the bread product at first) had me wondering what other stations don't sound like they are spelt ?
Milngavie is one of those that seem to be most different. Then there are the Norfolk ones - Wymondham (there was Hunstantion). I thought Syston was along the lines of a WC. There used to be Gateacre.
Some are easy to work out where the pronunciation is either a shortening or pronoucning letters out of character but how did Milngavie get to be pronounced the way it is?
